The RT Has Been Called STAT to the Bedside of a Patient

The RT has been called STAT to the bedside of a patient who is in extreme respiratory distress in the intensive care unit (ICU) . Shortly after arriving, the patient's cardiac monitor shows a pattern of ventricular fibrillation, and shortly thereafter the patient ceases breathing. The nurse states that the patient has a do not resuscitate (DNR) order. The RT should take which of the following actions?

A) Do nothing, because a DNR order means that no resuscitative measures should be attempted.
B) Call a full code and institute full resuscitative measures because the therapist knows that the physician who wrote the DNR order is not working in the unit this week.
C) Call a code so that cardiac medications can be given to correct the ventricular fibrillation; the DNR order means that the patient cannot be intubated.
D) Place a non-rebreather mask on the patient for "comfort measures."
